The Rangers had finished another day of school, work and fun and now was heading towards Ninja Ops. When they arrived they see an amusing scene where Cam is rushing around and Sensei is directing him to different places.
"Have you made sure that the guestroom is clean and tidy." said the guinea pig.
"Yes dad, I checked the room, cleaned it and placed new sheets, comforter and pillow on the bed." replied Cam as he sat back down at his computer chair.
"Um, Sensei. What is going on? I heard that you are getting a room ready. Are we having a visitor or something?" asked Shane questionly.
"Ah, rangers you're here and yes Shane we are having a guest." answered Sensei.
"Uh, who is it? I thought the Wind Ninja Academy is secret to all people." stated Dustin.
"Well, I'll let Cam explain it." said the guinea pig.
Everyone then turned towards Cam for an explanation.
"My best friend is coming here to check out the academy and staying here for awhile I hope." started Cam.
"Best friend? Dude, I didn't even know you have a best friend except for your computers." said Dustin but was stopped when Tori elbowed him in the ribs.
"Just because I stay here at Ninja Ops all the time doesn't mean I don't have a social life." snapped the samurai ranger.
"He doesn't mean it like that. But you never told us you had a friend, a best friend in fact besides us. So who is this person?" asked Tori.
"His name is Kaze or Kazel his full name. Kazel Anido. We met back when we were teens. He stayed here at the academy for a year, then left but we were great friends to each other even through it was a one year friendship." explained Cam as he had this far off look, going down memory lane.
"If he only stay here for one year then how did you two stayed best friends?" asked Blake curiously.
"Through email and video conversations."
"Why did he leave anyways?" asked Hunter.
"Here's the part that might surprise you. His father is the head master of the Storm Ninja Academy."
"The Storm Ninja Academy!" everyone asked at the same time.
"The Storm Ninja Academy is the central academy for all other ninja school. Schools like ours the Wind Ninja Academy and the Thunder Ninja Academy and other academies is just a branch off of the original Storm Ninja Academy." explained sensei.
"Wait a minute, didn't Lothor attacked all the ninja academies?" asked Tori.
"Yes he did, except for one. The Storm Ninja Academy. No one knows the exact location of the school because it is only given to those who want to achieve one of the highest ranked ninjas possible and only few from each school are given the honour. Not even Lothor himself knows where the school is."
"But how did you meet this Kaze dude, anyways?" asked Earth ranger.
"The head master of the Storm Ninja Academy goes out to each of the schools and stays there for a year and observe how the school is doing. He brought along his son Kazel and that how he and Cam met."
"So what is he doing here anyways?" asked the red ranger.
"From what he told me, his father got word of Lother's attacks on the schools and he was given the assignment of going to each of the schools to see how bad things are. He visited the other schools already and this is his last stop and I wanted to ask him to stay for awhile." explained Cam.
"Does he know about us being Power Rangers?" asked Blake.
"He knows about the morphers and such but doesn't know who has them but when he meet you guys, he'll know."
"How good is he as a ninja?" questioned Tori.
"Lets just say he is considered as one of the high ranked ninjas." stated Cam.
"Yes he may even surpass his father." added their sensei
"So when is he getting here?" asked Hunter.
"Today, actually." putted Cam.
"Today? And you didn't tell us because?" stated Shane.
"He contacted me a couple of days ago and it kind of slipped my mind."
"Yeah with being a ranger and taking care of Ninja Ops, no wonder." Blake said off-handily.
"Sorry guys, Tori could I asked you a favour?" asked the green ranger.
"Sure what is it."
"Could I use your van, I mean could you drive me to the airport to pick him up."
"Sure, no problem." and Cam got up from where he was sitting and started to head out with Tori.
"Hey bro, can we come?" asked Dustin.
"If you guys want."
"Radical, then we can meet this best friend of yours." said Blake and everyone headed outside.
During the ride to the airport...
Tori were sitting at the driving wheel with Cam and Shane in front, and Blake, Hunter and Dustin in the back seat.
"Oh yeah there is one more thing you need to know about Kaze." started Cam.
"What is it?" asked Shane.
"Well he's gay."
When Cam said that everyone looked at him, especially Hunter who looked at him with wide eyes. Seeing that Hunter wanted to know if that was why sensei was okay with him being gay, Cam answered.
"That is the reason why my dad and I was okay with you being gay Hunter."
"Well it looks like you're not alone bro." Blake patted Hunter on the back.
"Does he have a boyfriend?" asked Tori, thinking of maybe setting Cam's friend and Hunter up.
"Ex-boyfriend actually." answered the samurai ranger.
"What happened?" asked Hunter who was curious.
"I'm not sure if I should be telling you this but you see, Kaze dated one of the students at the academy, his first boyfriend. They gone out for a couple of months and Kaze fell for the guy totally and were almost at the love stage.
Anyways a while ago he found out the guy was only using him, so he could to be the next successor to the ninja academy. He also found out he was cheating on him with a girl. So as you could see what he is going through right now, so I decided to ask him to stay for while to help him take his mind off of things." explained Cam thoughtfully.
"Man, that is totally harsh dude." Dustin stated with a frown on his face.
"I know what you mean. So what happened to the guy?" asked Shane.
"Well, Kaze's father found out and stripped the guy's ninja rank and banished him from the academy." answered the green ranger.
"Don't worry Cam, we'll help if you want." said Tori.
"Yeah, if we can't then maybe my bro can." finished Blake as he put an arm around his big brother who was just sitting there thinking.
"He is one year younger than Hunter." added Cam.
The group finally arrived at the airport, found a close parking spot and headed in towards the building. After awhile of searching around they found out where Cam's friend was supposed to arrive and head towards it. When they arrived, Cam looked around the place to seeing if Kaze had arrived but spotted no one, so they wait. After waiting about 15 minutes, the group heard someone shouting.
"Hey! Cam! Over here!"
Everyone look to the direction where the voice came from and see someone walking up towards them. The guy was Asian like Cam, about Cam's height with a light body build, light skin colour, brown eyes, a mess like mop black hair with a short neck length ponytail at the back of his neck and was around Hunter's age.
He was wearing a white t-shirt with the Chinese phase 'storm' on it, blue jeans and white worn out runners. He had a backpack on his back around one shoulder and was carrying a sports duffle bag on the other. He also had this warm felt smile on his face.
'Wow, he's cute.' thought Hunter as he stared at Cam's friend.
"Cam! How are you? Long time no see, huh?" greeted Kaze as he dropped his bags and hugged Cam.
"Yeah, same to you." as Cam hugged his friend back.
"So how is your dad doing?"
"He fine, except being downsized a bit."
"Who would thought Lothor would come back after all these years to take over world and stuff."
Kaze then notice they were not alone and there were others around them, just standing there watching them.
"Uh Cam, these people are?" asked Kaze as he gestured towards the others.
"Oh! I forget, these are my friends. This is Shane Clarke." Cam started to introduce everyone.
"Hi!" greeted Shane.
"Tori Hanson."
"Hello." answered Tori.
"Dustin Brooks."
"Hey, dude. How its going!" greeted Dustin.
"Blake Bradley and his brother Hunter."
"Hey." greeted Blake while Hunter said nothing.
"Brother?" asked Kaze curiously.
"We're adopted." answered the navy ranger.
"Shane, Tori and Dustin is the remaining students of the wind ninja academy and Blake and Hunter is from the thunder ninja academy." finished Cam.
"You mean there are students left? I thought everyone was capture." Kaze gave a confused look.
"As you can see not everyone." said the green ranger.
Then Kaze noticed something on everyone's wrists and his eyes widen in surprise.
"The Ninja Morphers. So I guess you guys were chosen to be the power rangers, huh?"
"Yeah they were, how about we get back to Ninja Ops and tell you the rest?" suggested Cam.
Kaze agreed and picked up his bags and followed the rangers to Tori's van.
The group arrived back at Ninja Ops with Kaze in tow.
"Dad we're back!" shouted Cam as he walked to where is father was, with Kaze following.
Kaze stopped and was taken back with surprise when he saw what seems to be a guinea pig in a ninja master's clothes.
"Sensei Kinoi?" asked Kaze uncertain.
"Yes it is me, Kaze." answered sensei.
"What happened Cam?" asked Kaze as he looked at his friend.
"Lothor was what happened. My father battled with him was changed into a guinea pig."
"Oh. I maybe able to change him back but I'm not really sure." offered Kaze.
"Really dude!" asked Dustin astonished as well as the others.
"I can try." and Kaze dropped his bags on the floor and pushed them aside.
He then went into the traditional ninja stance and closed his eyes and started to concentrate. After a minute or so white energy started to form at his fingertips that was pointing up and eventually a ball formed. Then opening his eyes, Kaze pointed his fingers at sensei and the ball of energy flew right at the guinea pig and was in gulf in it. The energy stayed around sensei as Kaze concentrated but a minute later the ball exploded throwing Kaze back but Hunter was lucky enough to catch him.
"You okay dude?" asked Hunter as he looked down into Kaze's eyes.
"Uh, yeah thanks." as he shook himself from looking at the crimson ranger's eyes and stood back up.
"Sorry, sensei I wasn't able to change you back." apologized Kaze as he saw that sensei was still in guinea pig form.
"That's okay Kaze. I'm getting use to being in this form." reassured the guinea pig.
"Oh! Yeah, I almost forgot." and Kaze went over to his sports duffle bag and zipped it open and took out some packages.
"Here Cam, here is the new software upgrade pack you asked for." Kaze handed over a package to Cam.
"Thanks Kaze." thanked Cam as he took the package from his friend.
"Sensei, here this is for you. A package of the finest teas in Japan." Kaze place another package in front of sensei.
"You didn't have to Kaze, but I thank you."
"And for you guys..."
"You got something for us as well!" said Tori, surprised that Cam's friend had something for them too.
"Well Cam told me about you guys as his friends, so I thought I might give you guys something as well." explained Kaze as he handed each of the rangers a package including Cam.
"I didn't know what to get. So I got you sweets from Japan."
"Candy! Sweet! Thanks dude." exclaimed Dustin happily.
"Thanks." everyone else thanked.
"Cam, why don't you show Kaze his room, so he can get settled in." suggested sensei.
"Alright dad. Come on, Kaze." said Cam as Kaze picked up his bags, put his arm around his shoulder and guide him towards the guestroom that was prepared.
"It was nice meeting you all." said Kaze and aloud Cam to guide him.
Once Cam and Kaze was gone sensei turned towards the rangers and started to talked to them.
"Rangers since that Kaze is from the Storm Ninja Academy, Lothor will try to capture him to give him the location of the school. So its relatively important that you all look out for him so that doesn't happen." told sensei.
Everyone understood what he meant and promised to protect Kaze while he was here.
"Don't worry sensei, we will." said Shane.
"Good, why don't you all go home now. It is getting late." and everyone bowed in respect and left Ninja Ops.
The next day while everyone was doing their after school activities, Cam was showing Kaze around Blue Bay Harbor. Now they were sitting at table outside of a cafe at downtown plaza drinking fruit smoothies.
"So how are you liking Blue Bay Harbor so far?" asked the green ranger.
"Well its great here, people are friendly and nice." answered Kaze.
"Then about staying here for awhile."
"Maybe, I have to ask my dad first. So Cam, going out with anybody?"
"No time. With taking care of Ninja Ops and ranger stuff."
"Look dude, you got to stop over working yourself like this and take sometime off for yourself. You're are going to get a nervous breakdown if continue like this." said Kaze worried.
"You know, you are sounding like my father." Cam raised an eyebrow at him.
"He is just worried about you like I am, you're like a big brother to me."
"Maybe I can try going out more."
"How about a lot, besides don't you have CC to help look after Ninja Ops." stated Kaze as Cam had showed him Cyber Cam earlier who he nicknamed CC.
Meanwhile in space...
"So a student from the great Storm Ninja Academy is here." stated Lothor as he watch his nephew and his friend.
"Storm Ninja Academy, sir?" asked Zurgane.
"Yes, the Storm Ninja Academy. The central ninja school of all ninja schools. It is secretly hidden and no one knows where the location is. But once I get the information of the where about of the school is and capture it then no one will stop me from taking over the world.
Zurgane, go down there with some Kelzaks and create a diversion to distract the rangers. While I want you two, Kapri and Marah to go down there and capture the Storm Ninja student." ordered Lothor.
"Yes sir!" and Zurgane disappeared.
"Okay, uncle." and the two sisters disappeared as well.
"I will find out where the Storm Ninja Academy is." and Lothor continued to watch the monitor.
At Storm Chargers...
As usual Dustin, Hunter and Blake was working and Shane and Tori was seating at the lounge when Shane's morpher beeped.
"Go for Shane." answered the red ranger.
"Zurgane is attacking downtown, you must stop him." said sensei.
"We're on our way." and Shane and Tori got up headed to where the other are.
"Hey guys we got trouble." said Shane as he tapped his morpher.
Everyone left the store and morphed.
"Ninja Storm, Ranger form. Hah!" Shane, Tori and Dustin called out.
"Thunder Storm, Ranger form." called out Hunter and Blake at the same time.
The rangers arrived at downtown and saw Zurgane.
"Rangers, so nice of you do join me. Kelzaks!" and at least 3 dozen Kelzaks appeared around them.
"Attack!" and everyone started attacking.
The rangers had manage to get rid of some of Kelzaks but they were out numbered and was losing.
At the cafe where Kaze and Cam was, his father contacted Cam.
"Cam, the rangers need you help. You must go help them."
"Alright dad, I'm on my way." answered Cam.
"Sorry, Kaze I have to go."
"Don't worry I know. Go, the others need your help." said Kaze.
"Are you sure you're going to be alright by yourself here?"
"Stop worrying and go, I'm a ninja remember I can take care of myself."
"Alright then." and Cam took off to help his friends.
Once Cam was gone, Kapri and Marah appeared out of nowhere along with a dozen Kelzaks. The sudden appearance of them made everyone near there started to run off screaming while Kaze looked with a surprise expression on his face.
"Get him!" shouted Kapri as she pointed towards Kaze and the Kelzaks rushed at him.
Kaze quickly stood up to fight and stood in a ninja fight stance. He quickly jumped off the patio like platform he was on and flipped through the air and land right in the middle of the group of Kelzaks.
He quickly kicked forward once and back and knocked two of them down. He then jumped to the air and did a roundhouse kick and knocked down another three. Then he turned to different directions and started to punch the Kelzaks in the gut. He then kicked another one in the stomach and did a back flip and kick them in the chin. Then more Kelzak started after him so Kaze did multiple back flips and at the last back flip he launched himself into the air and his body twisted turned and landed back on the platform he first started on. He then quickly grabbed hold of the umbrella pole attached to a table near him and swung himself around as Kelzaks went after him and kicked each one of them on the chest in a full 360 degrees motion. Once he landed on his feet more Kelzaks went after him.
"Thunderstorm Cannon! Full power!" shouted Shane as the rangers formed their ultimate weapon and fired.
The energy blast from their weapon had got rid of most of the Kelzaks. They disconnect their weapons and was ready to fight again when their morphers beeped.
"Rangers, Kaze is in trouble he needs help." informed sensei.
"I'm on my way dad." said Cam as he was about to head off.
"No, how about we go and you stay here to help the other." Hunter referred to himself and Blake.
"Are your sure?" asked the samurai ranger.
"Yes, don't worry."
"Alright."
And Hunter and Blake headed towards where Kaze was at the moment.
The fight against the Kelzaks was getting to much for Kaze and two of them managed to grab hold of his arms. Then Hunter and Blake jumped flipped through the air and kicked the two Kelzaks holding Kaze and got him free. The two thunder rangers landed in front of Kaze and stood up and Hunter pushed Kaze behind them.
"Are you okay? Kaze? Are you hurt?" asked Hunter worried a bit.
"No, I'm fine now. Thanks to you guys."
Hunter and Blake faced the Kelzaks and there was at least 5 left. So to finish the fight quickly Hunter took out his Crimson Blaster and Blake his Navy Antler. They put them together to form the Thunder Blaster.
"Thunder Blaster! Fire!" and the energy blast got rid of the rest of the Kelzaks leaving only the two space sisters.
"So you two decided to stay and fight?" asked Blake.
"Uh, maybe another time. Bye!" seeing how good the storm ninja student fight before and now with two power rangers, they had no chance and disappeared.
The wind rangers and the green samurai rangers had gotten rid of the last Kelzaks and was now facing Zurgane alone. Then the thunder rangers appeared along with Kaze. Seeing that their plan to capture the storm student had failed and he was outnumbered he decide to get out of there.
"Next time rangers!" and Zurgane disappeared.
Once Zurgane was gone the ranger's face of their helmet opened up.
"Now that was weird. They just attack and left and that is it?" stated Shane.
"I think it was a plan to capture me." said Kaze.
"Well at least they failed." spoke Cam and everyone started to head back to Ninja Ops.
On Lothor's ship...
"You imbeciles! I can't believe you screwed up a perfect that could get that storm ninja student easily." shouted Lothor sitting at his chair.
"We would have captured him, if it weren't for those thunder rangers to show up." said Marah.
"Yeah and haven't you seen the guy from Storm Ninja Academy fight?" added Kapri.
"Of course I seen him fight, that why he is from the Storm Ninja Academy. One way or another I will find out the location of the school is." stated Lothor.
At Ninja Ops...
"My first day here and I'm already attacked by aliens." sighed Kaze as he was sitting cross-legged on the floor.
"Welcome to the life of a power ranger." Shane put an arm around his back.
"And there will be more where that came from bro." stated Blake as he patted Kaze on the shoulder.
"Rangers, remember Lothor won't stop on getting the location of the Storm Ninja Academy so you all will have to be on your guard." said sensei.
"Don't worry sensei, we will." said Tori.
